All snide social commentary that skews towards the obvious racism that is often associated with them, it is a serious question: if a place has a dress code and nobody enforces it, what\u2019s the point of having it in the first place?<\/span><\/p>\n

Down in Florida, my famiry went to dinner at a supposed upscale steakhouse at one of the numerous Disney resorts.\u00a0 While we were packing for the trip, I had full intentions of going full vacation mode as in packing basically nothing but shorts, t-shirts, and with the intention of wearing nothing on my feet other than my slides the whole time, but mythical wife informed me that we had reservations at a place where there was a dress code and that I should pack accordingly; as in a collared shirt, and jeans were acceptable as long as they were not ripped up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Only slightly begrudgingly because I do like fine dining and don\u2019t mind cleaning up from time to time, I did pack accordingly.\u00a0 But I did mention to my wife that I would wager money that we would probably see people there that were nowhere close to adhering to the dress code, be it people slumming it up or just samples of the various Florida white trash that exists in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we got to the restaurant, I was compliant to the dress code because I have respect and follow rules, but completely unsurprising, were all the people I could see inside and waiting outside of the restaurant, that most definitely were not.\u00a0 In most cases, it was a bunch of Ben Afflecks who looked like they rolled right off one of Orlando\u2019s countless golf courses, in their polo shirts, but their non-compliant khaki shorts, but there were no shortage of people slumming it up in t-shirts and modes of dress that would be better suited to a mall food court rather than an upscale resort steakhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n

And not that I have any issues with gay guys, but there was one fabulous dude wearing a men\u2019s denim romper, with red bandanna around his neck, as if he were deliberately trying to look like a male version of Rosie the Riveter.\u00a0 All classifications aside, that wasn\u2019t compliant to the dress code either, but that didn\u2019t stop him from being able to get inside and dine as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which brings me back to the original query, if they\u2019re never enforced, why do places even bother advertising any sort of dress code?\u00a0 At the end of the day it\u2019s fairly meaningless to me, but as a person who can respect and adhere to simple rules, it always irks me when other people don\u2019t.\u00a0 It\u2019s not at all difficult to do, and it makes me wonder why people don\u2019t want to take a little pride and clean themselves up.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying that people need to go all Harry and Lloyd<\/a>, but is it really fatal to just try?<\/span><\/p>\n

All this really makes me want, is to see a video montage of people getting turned away at restaurants for not being compliant to dress codes, but much like the disappointment I feel in person when I see those who don\u2019t, the internet really is no different.\u00a0 I can\u2019t find any compilations, much less any decent individual videos of such humiliations occurring, and just a whole bunch of depressing and disappointing news articles of black people getting turned away at restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, abolish them all, if they\u2019re never going to be enforced and only being used to inappropriately weed out racism.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
